It represents the flower bud of a lotus flower, and this symbolizes "a lotus that blooms in the mud," while it also acts as a symbol that the clean heart brightens the dakusei. Also, since the candle is a spherical candle, it acts to represent a round and clean heart.

〔Example〕

Embodiments embodying the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a perspective view, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a candle and a candle holder.

The candlestick of this embodiment is roughly composed of a candle holder 1, a candle holder stand 2 and a candle holder 3.

The candle receiving container 1 is composed of a dish-shaped glass container in which the upper end 4 is corrugated, and is formed like a lotus flower petal when viewed from the whole, and the dish-like portion 5 is formed into a lotus-like shape in a side view. The candle 6 can be placed inside thereof. here,
The candle receiving container 1 is usually colored in a light pink color so as to have a lotus-like shape, and the light of the candle 6 leaks to the outside through the dish-shaped portion. Further, a fitting portion 7 for detachably fitting or holding the candle receiving container stand 2 is integrally formed on the lower portion of the candle receiving container 1. Usually, it is configured to be screwed or inserted and fixed.

The candle receiving container stand 2 is a hakama-shaped holding table for detachably holding the fitting portion 7 of the candle receiving container 1, and is formed by a folding metal tripod or the like, if necessary. Good. When the candle receiving container stand 2 is provided on the gravestone, a hole may be provided in the gravestone itself and the candle receiving container stand 2 shown in FIG. 3 may be inserted into the hole, or the hole may be provided. Thus, a candle holder stand may be formed.

The candle holder 3 is for mounting the spherical candle 6, and the diameter of the upper end portion 3a thereof is slightly larger than the diameter of the candle 4, and the upper peripheral end surface 3b is inwardly lowered. It is formed on an inclined surface. Here, the lower part of the candle holder 3 is provided with three feet 3 on the lower part, if necessary. Further, the candle holder 3 is formed in yellow,
Further, if necessary, the upper peripheral ring-shaped wax receiver may be formed.

The candle 6 is a spherically shaped candle, and has a candle holder 8
It can be used by mounting on. With this shape, the tilting of the candle can be eliminated, and the wax that melts from the candle does not flow out of the candle holder 3. The diameter of the candle 6 is usually about 20 mm to 30 mm, and the size and shape are such that the upper end of the candle 6 is located below the upper end of the petal-shaped candle holder 1. Moreover, the burning time is set to about 1 hour. Candle 6
The reason why the sphere is made spherical is that the burning position does not move up and down, and that it shows a round human heart, that is, it recognizes a clean human heart. Also, one hour is
This is due to consideration of the dialogue time with the "spirit". However, it goes without saying that the diameter of the candle may be other sizes.

Here, since the candle 6 is formed as a spherical candle, the spherical candle burns out from the upper end and burns like a normal candle with its central portion dented to the equator of the spherical candle. Then, since the candle originally becomes smaller, the braze comes to flow out of the circumference of the candle 6, but since the upper end portion of the candle holder 3 is located at the equator portion, the candle is smaller than that of the candle holder 3. It acts so that the wax does not flow to the outside, and since the candle receiving container 1 is detachable from the candle receiving container stand 2, it also acts so as to facilitate its cleaning.
